Take your job75 back to the Dunes = fun

Re: Take your job75 back to the Dunes = fun

I'm with ya Deeke. I had a lot of fun in the earlier levels, and I'd love to go back lvl capped, so long as my merits would apply as they normally would at the level. My old LS was small and diverse in lvl ranges, and I think it would be cool to help out a friend looking for a 6th member at the drop of a hat (because, for me, that's the best part of the game: fighting mobs with people you like). And without a static, it can be near-impossible to get a party of like-minded people and levels to go fight in an obscure zone, but this would make it easier. It would also give us the option of adding some challenge to quests or missions, if we feel like it. I can no longer fight Shadowlord as a lvl 55 RNG, for instance.

And I don't see why you shouldn't get merit points when doing this, since it would be a way for players to get a small material benefit. Of course it wouldn't be substituted for real meripo, but it's not intended for that, just as the exp reward in Besieged isn't intended to be the main source of exp for your character. You may go help your friend beat Ifrit Prime because you want him to have the summon and not for the 10k gil reward, but the money is a nice bonus.

Maybe I'm the odd ball, but I understand the original point. But there has to be a reward of some kind, so set it like EXP is in level cap areas, so you gain EXP, but not buckets of it and suddenly everybody storms certain areas with their ideal parties. As much as the nostalgia hits me, I'm not slaving through the hot Dunes again for free.

I've had a number of times where a LS member several levels below me has been in need of a Refresher. If I join them, I obviously remove their EXP, but if I could limit myself to their level I could join them and help out. Giving me a chance to do something with another LS member that I may not have spent any time with due to the difference in levels.

Would be kind of fun to build a Lv.50 static and go through the 50's as RDM post ToAU instead of pre like I did the original time. Less Crabs, Refresh Sanction, etc; Perhaps the new expansion is going to do some of that. Allow you to EXP in old areas again, but with a cap, or hell with no cap. Make a way for Sarutabaruta to be a Lv.75 VT+ camping ground! Bring back the skillchain, and see if those Manaburn BLMs can remember how they used to MB.

Disclaimer: I've only read the OP.

Sounds a lot like the Sprout/Guide Berets from the Gold World Pass program.

The reward would have to be pretty huge for me to go back to the dunes, I won't even go there when leveling a new job.
